Why JAM Exists

The Vision

Africa is a continent of children, with 60% under age 18. There are over 48 million orphans and many of these children are now being taken care of by older siblings – some as young as seven. In addition, only 1 in 40 children grow up with a present father figure, resulting in a lack of guidance and direction for young people, and an overall moral decay. It is clear that in order to impact the continent, we must start with the young people. As a ministry, our purpose is to train and disciple young Africans in becoming Godly, servant leaders who can impact their communities for Christ. We do this by building genuine relationships with the young people, and providing guidance, mentorship, and a biblical foundation.​Simply put, JAM is an organization seeking to train and empower young people in the ways of our Lord, Jesus Christ. Our main aim is to follow the will of God in all that we do. “Thy Kingdom Come, Thy Will Be Done, On Earth as it is in Heaven.” We desire to experience the love of Jesus… and we find Him as we serve the broken. Our aim is not to build an empire or large organization but simply to see lives changed and this country, continent, and planet transformed by His love.

The cross of Africa refers to the pain and suffering of this continent – the poverty, hunger, disease, corruption, war, Aids, hopelessness and the lack of Christ-like leaders. But when we look at the cross of Jesus we see love, grace, peace and hope! Jesus took the weight of the world on His shoulders when He died on the cross.​So how does the cross of Jesus get to the cross of Africa you may ask? Through His body, which is us – the church! We envision a new generation of leaders in Africa who will rise up to their God given purpose and become the salt and light like Jesus explained church should be! When God laid this ministry on the founders’ hearts, they planted a cross pointing North (into Africa) on the Apostle Battery Campsite.
